Waiting for the Snow Storm by taffy

Waiting for the Snow Storm

Chicago is bracing for 6 - 9 inches of snow and we are supposed to be at a holiday part as far south of the city as we are currently north. Mmmm...brave the roads and celebrate with friends or avoid the roads and what could become a nightmare of driving...still not sure what choice we'll make so decided to post now, just in case.
Thanks for your great comments on the ORD train station!
Fabulous textures.

Beautiful shot. I used to hate travelling in snow when we lived in the UK. The roads used to be horrendous. Luckily we don't get snow here.

Looks pretty chilly. I used to not worry to much about those kinds of decisions, but now, I'd rather stay home and out of the weather.

Neat image, textures...Stay safe and warm during the snow storm.

OMG! Snow in small quantities is so lovely, but 10"! I know everyone must be thinking of the nightmare on Lakeshore Drive those few years back! So sad for your friends to have planned a party with that weather report looming, but at such a distance, I know I'd want to stay home!

I love this - fav. Take care in all that snow!
December 11th, 2016

Hope you're safe and warm Taffy. Lovely shot really has a cold feel Fav
December 11th, 2016  
hope you had fun wherever you were. I'm looking out the window to a cold 1/4 inch, first of the season. I'd rather look at this lovely picture.
December 11th, 2016  
Fav, stunning

Wonderful details. I don't envy you the cold and snow. Cold weather and me don't see eye to eye. I am much happier when it's hot.
December 11th, 2016  
@Weezilou All's well that ends well or whatever the saying is...we have only half that amount -- and some places even less. So we made it to the party and home without too much hassle and this morning, the roads are being cleared so all is pretty normal. Whew!
December 11th, 2016  
@jamibann Thanks, Issi! We ended up going -- an 80th birthday party for a special friend so we decided we had to at least try. A little slick on the way down, not as bad on the way back, and looks like we only have about 5" this morning, with roads already being cleared. I'm glad we didn't wimp out. Thanks for asking!
December 11th, 2016  
Wonderful, fav
December 11th, 2016  
Great image. Go with your gut.. Will temps be well below freezing, too? Those make for bad driving. Snow tires on?
December 11th, 2016  
Just saw you had responded but now I feel that I need to know about snow tires in Chicago. Do you do the seasonal changeover?
December 11th, 2016  
@jeffinvt Yep -- freezing cold, but not so much snow. We have all-wheel drive and whatever the tires are, they are all-season. Of course, we are mostly flat here so don't need to worry about Vermont kinds of road conditions.
